One of the Osama bin Laden's 19 sons, is seeking political asylum in Spain after landing at Madrid's Barajas airport. This is his second attempt after he was rejected by Britian. He is trying to be an ambassidor for peace. Here's more on the story.
Madrid's Barajas Airport is used to dealing with asylum seekers - but this one is a little unusual.
Omar Osama bin Laden - one of the al Qaeda leader's 19 sons - stopped off in the Spain yesterday and asked to stay.
Spain's Interior Minister says he was travelling from his home in Cairo to Morocco at the time.
[Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, Spanish Interior Minister]:
"The first thing we've done is to apply the law. The applicant is detained in Barajas and the Commissioners who have the task of deciding are examining whether there is a legal claim for asylum and if it is right to grant asylum in our country."
Omar Osama bin Laden is 27 years old.
Like his father he was originally from Saudi Arabia.
But in 1994 he was disowned by his family.
He recently married a 52-year-old British woman and earlier this year they gave an interview to Reuters about their plans.
[OMAR BIN LADEN, SON OF OSAMA BIN LADEN]
"I plan to be a peace ambassador, I just think I can help and put my hand to try to help the people and the civilian."
[ZAINA ALSABAH BIN LADEN, WIFE OF OMAR BIN LADEN]
"We don't want war and we believe that there is a way of sorting things out by talking, getting people together, mixed race, mixed religion and asking them to stand up and say - no more war."
But Omar bin Laden was denied asylum by the British government earlier this year.
Spain's authorities have promised to deal with this latest request within 72 hours.
So.. how's life in Spain?

So all of Osamas kids are being interviewed but have no idea where their dad is because they were all neglected or disowned. Where were they when all the bad stuff happened?

His wife is not 52 years old, and I doubt "Omar" is who he says he is.He has served the propaganda needs of the powerful elite who have manipulated wars which bring them huge profitsts very well. Thus far he has implicated his "father" in being the cause of 9-11, and made statements about there being far more dangerous persons in "al Quaeda. as compared to his "father."Get it? The "war on terror" is not over.

Some of the comments are far from peaceful. But everyone should have the freedom of speech. Freedom to live in peace. Freedom to work The right to live in safety But people should not discriminate Name. Size. Age. Colour or creed, racial prejudice is intolerable and unacceptable. Bad language is not the answer, and degrading comments about any religion is abhorrent, all that matters is that we trust and believe in god Omar and I are fine and well. We have been married for 5 years now a
